About the Book

What do the theological disciplines have to do with reparations? Historically, many churches and theologians defended and supported race-based slavery and subsequent forms of racial hierarchy and violence. While today many in our society see reparations as an important step towards addressing the harm perpetrated against Black Americans, the theological disciplines have often ignored this crucial topic. The time is now for biblical scholars, theologians, and religious historians to make a prophetic case for reparations. Each essay in Reparations and the Theological Disciplines does precisely that. Written for students, scholars, pastors, and church people, the essays in this volume draw on the riches of Scripture, Christian theology, history, and praxis to make the case for an ethic of remembrance, reckoning, and repair.
